Disclamier: I don't know Teen Titans.

I know Raven seems really grumpy and stuff and makes a comment about Starfire's...ditziness. This is Raven's opinion, not mine so please no flames.

CHAPTER 3

Decorating

Raven groaned and opened her eyes. She turned her head and looked at the clock on the night table beside her bed. It read: 10:00. Raven sat up and stretched, yawning. Raven slipped out of her room to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

Raven walked into the living room her hair still half wet. "Look man I'm telling you it's not Christmas with a huge turkey!" Cyborg half yelled at Beast Boy. "Why do you always have to eat meat on holidays? Why can't we eat salad and tofu?!" Beast Boy yelled back. "Dude salad isn't food! It's food's food! And besides tofu is way nasty!" Raven closed her eyes with an annoyed expression, the vein in her forehead slightly popping out. Same as always around here, she thought.

Raven poured herself a cup of coffee and scanned the front page of the newspaper.

Starfire giggled. On each of her fingers were shiny Christmas tree bulbs. She was gigging at the way her reflection looked in the differently shaped bulbs. "Ohh... marvelous!" She said. Raven lifted her eyes from the paper. She watched Robin star and Starfire smiling. How can he like someone with an I.Q. of like 2? I am way smarter than Starfire...where did that come from? Knows what's really freaky, I'm watching him watch her. I'm so pathetic. Raven sighed and took a sip of her coffee.

"Okay it's all up to you, Raven: we have a yummy turkey dinner or funky white junk," Cyborg said, he placed a hand beside her and looked down at her. Raven snapped out of her daydream and looked up at Cyborg. "Make turkey for us and let Beast Boy eat the 'funky white junk'." Raven said in a mono-tone. "Hey!" said Beast Boy, playfully pouting.

"Hey you guys, stop fight for a minute and help me and Starfire decorate," called Robin from across the living room. Starfire laughed and danced around the room, "I find this holiday most enjoyable, don't you too, Raven?" Asked Starfire as she dropped a Santa hat on her hair. Raven took the hat off her head holding it with the tips of her forefinger and thumb, "No," she said bluntly dropping the hat. Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven each took a box and went to different rooms.

Starfire took a great amount of tinsel and started attaching it to the walls near the ceiling. Starfire landed and admired her work. "On my home planet we have a similar holiday called: Sutsirh'r Day. But, it is the day when the evil goddess, Bruma, was born. Instead of your holy Jesus was born. It also marks the start of our three month winter. But, we do not celebrate like your kind, but we go in mourning," Starfire sighed sadly, "It is a dark and depressing time."

Robin turned around. He was putting up a wreath on the wall, but dropped it and came and stood by Starfire who was standing there with a serious expression on her face. He put his arm around her shoulder, "Its sounds depressing," Starfire snapped out of her thoughts, she seemed to relax slightly. She rested her head on his shoulder.

"Lets not try to get that get in the way of our friendship, okay?" Those words floated into Starfire's head, she stiffened up and broke away from Robin. "Starfire?" Asked Robin quietly, "Um..." said Starfire. She walked out of the room and returned a few moments with two cups with cider in them. She smiled nervously, "How about a break?" Robin nodded and took a cup. They sat on the couch; Robin grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels. They ended up watching the end of a romantic-action-comedy-Christmas special. Over all it was pretty stupid. Starfire didn't mind, they started snuggling up to each other. Starfire was sitting cross legged, kind-of lying down, and Robin was resting his head on Star's lap, she was mindlessly stroking his head.

"And remember baby I love ya!" The man on the TV said as he and the blonde woman kissed as the words: The End flashed on the screen. Robin sat up and turned off the TV, "Well...that was...interesting," Robin said, Starfire giggled and nodded.

"I guess we better get back to work, I wonder what's taking the others so long..." Robin said.

Cyborg and Beast Boy had long deserted decorating the halls and went outside and was in a major snowball fight. Mean while Raven didn't even bother decorating, after getting the box she looked inside, Cheesy, she thought pulling out a banner that said: Merry X-mas! This whole holiday is retarded. She thought as she pulled out a horror book and sat down beside the box and started reading.

"I wonder..." Starfire said not at all caring what happened to her fellow friends. Starfire picked up the wreath Robin had dropped earlier and hung it to the wall using a sticky clip which Starfire had marveled over for a few minutes. Robin was up on a ladder and was also attaching something with a sticky clip. He climbed down and looked up at it seeing if it was going to fall or not. "Ohh..." said Starfire coming beside him and looking up, "What is that?" she asked, "It's mistletoe," Starfire looked up and tilted her head slightly "Why would anyone want to a hang a missile's toe?" She asked. Robin laughed, Starfire looked down blushing slightly, she still did not understand earths weird ways and hanging a missile's toe seemed really weird too her. "It's mistletoe, not a missile's toe. It's a plant, when a boy and girl stand under it they are supposed to kiss,"

"Oh," Starfire said nodding, it still seemed strange to her. Just then she noticed both her and Robin were standing under it. She leaned close to Robin and gave him a light kiss on the lips, barely thinking about it. She started to turn away to attach another wreath with another amazing sticky clip. Robin grabbed her arm and swirled her around, he placed a hand on her check. Starfire blushed and grinned from ear to ear.

Raven yawned and stood up, Ow, my back. That's the last time I sit on the floor in a corner for half an hour. Raven looked down at the box with the banner still lying on top of it, she used her powers to hang the banner then brushed pass the still full box and headed to the living room. The door whooshed opened, "I'm-..." Raven started.

Robin and Starfire were in a passionate embrace; Robin had a hand on Star's cheek and the other on her waist, while Starfire had her arms rapped around Robin. Their lips were obviously enjoying their selves. Raven's face remanded expressionless, but the lamp exploded next to her. She turned quickly and stormed down the hallway. I leave them alone for 30 minutes and this what happens, why does this always happen? God... I have to stop obsessing over him. Raven pushed past Cyborg and Beast Boy. They were covered in snow and laughing hard. They stopped laughing and turned around and watched Raven storm into her room, "What's her problem?" asked Cyborg, "I have no clue." replied Beast Boy.
